Re: What is up with the Pats defense and backup QB's
The bolded is a false statement. There have been plenty of aggressive defenses that have won SBs. In fact, there are probably more aggressive defenses that have won SBs than conservative defenses. I can't even think of a conservative defense that have won a SB other than the Patriots and BB's Giants when he was the DC.
Thats because fans expect young or backup QBs to go 4-32 with 3 Ints.
YOung and backup QBs can be effective. They can especially be effective TO AN EXTENT against a defense that is conservative like ours
However, if you look at the record, we lose to young or inexperienced QBs a lot less than anyone else does.
This is one of the differences between our D and an aggressive D, the kind people routinely clamor for.
An aggressive D will kill terrible teams. We beat them whether we kill them or not.
An aggressive D will not do as well against good teams.
If you want to win by more points against bad teams, but win less ofen against good teams, then you should continue to complain about the statistics that teams we beat accumulate during their loss.
